Description
Investigating Biological Systems Using Modeling describes how to apply software to analyze and interpret data from biological
systems. It is written for students and investigators in lay person's terms, and will be a useful reference book and textbook on mathematical
modeling in the design and interpretation of kinetic studies of biological systems. It describes the mathematical techniques of modeling
and kinetic theory, and focuses on practical examples of analyzing data. The book also uses examples from the fields of physiology, biochemistry,
nutrition, agriculture, pharmacology, and medicine.
Audience:
Graduate students and professionals in the fields of medicine, physiology, biochemistry, biomathematics, pharmacology, agricultural systems, nutrition, and animal science.
